I posted a < > thing on a thread, but it posted as a blank post.

Blimey this is weird
Does it only do it if you're telling someone to fuck off?

Hmmmmm. Well this is an exciting new development. For those of you who has been blessed with Intermittent Creepy Wee Bracket Invisibility (or ICWBI for short) could you tell us how you're posting - e.g. I'm using Chrome on a PC and it's working.

Talk guidelines still apply even if you are stricken by ICWBI!
You could get very zen about this...if you tell someone to fuck off but no-one reads it, have you still told them to fuck off?
I think the guidelines still apply even existential hypotheses. It's what Satre would have wanted.

Hi, On the app things between < and > can in some circumstances disappear and show up as nothing. It's been that way always. I think that's probably what you are seeing. It's on the list of things to fix.

Has anyone got an example of a thread that's coming up in italics by the way? Ta.
Tech · 15/12/2013 20:10
Ah OK, so can you explain what's happening - are whole posts apparently missing or are they there but blank? And is it consistent - or do they come back?
Tech · 15/12/2013 20:14
Thanks usualsuspect. We'll have a look at it now.

Hi, Yes I'm tech as in original tech from the year 2000 (spooky music.) I was away for a couple of years but I've been back at MN for a few years now. I still live in the US though so I'm more often around in the evening UK time...

Am I right in thinking all these things like dodgy italics and missing are only happening on mobile, not on the desktop version?
Tech · 15/12/2013 20:32
Hi Mary, so you see italics on desktop? Are you also seeing disappearing bracket contents on desktop as well?
Maryz sorry, not mary

One is noting the goings on.....

Right you 'orrible shower, we've figured out what's causing this disappearing < > and weird italics, and we'll fix overnight.
We might also have a look at that blank line business. I'm not sure we can be allowing that level of harmless fun to go on.

Hi, the problems with the disappearing stuff and random italics should be fixed now.

The nickname amnesty is a whole other question that I'm not prepared to discuss.
